Screen sharing pauses or shows a black box when I go to another window

Windows laptop, zoom and windows updates all done and rebooted. 

 

Lately if I'm sharing a video with someone - specifically sharing that window - if I flick to another window (to take notes), the screen sharing pauses and/or shows the other person a black box. 

It never used to do this, I used to be able to keep sharing the video while taking my notes. It's really stuffing me around!

I don't want to share the notes window - I just want the window with the video to continue being shared with the other person.

Hi.  For the Zoom account for my synagogue, Waiting Rooms are disabled and Allow Participants to Join Before Host is enabled.  But it doesn't work.  Participants who attempt to log in before the host still get the "Please Wait for the Host to Start this Meeting."  Some setting must have changed but I can't figure out what.  Any idea why?  Thank you.

Unable to start meeting on any iOS device

I have an iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 18 and an iPad Air on iPad 18. When I start a meeting on iPhone it immediately closes it out. Tried restarting phone, checking camera privacy settings, reset the phone settings, updated zoom, changed network, reinstalled zoom, EVERTHING. Nothing helps. On my iPad, I can’t activate the front facing camera but the meeting does stay open. Is Zoom really this buggy? I tried Zoom (with my account) on my wife's ipad that has iPad 17 on it and everything works.

I am trying to connect an external mic with iPhone and while most of the other apps like voice memo, etc recognizes the mic and works on that mic - while connecting to Zoom meeting, it uses the iPhone's in-built mic and does not use the external mic. I tried looking up settings but didn't see an option to switch the mic. How can I switch the mic that zoom uses?

Cannot get stereo audio no matter what

I've enabled original sound for musicians (and yes, clicked the button at the top to actually turn it on), enabled Stereo in the audio settings. Even went to my account settings to enable and force stereo audio for clients. I've recorded the meeting ... Show more

I've enabled original sound for musicians (and yes, clicked the button at the top to actually turn it on), enabled Stereo in the audio settings. Even went to my account settings to enable and force stereo audio for clients. I've recorded the meeting onto the computer. And sound is mixed down to mono... The music I'm playing is stereo, the microphone device is sending stereo, but Zoom is outputting and recording a mixed down to mono version which sounds hollow because the L and R channels of the source are out of phase and when they're simply added they cancel each other out. How do I get Zoom to actually record and send stereo audio?

After I record a part of a meeting I wait for the pop up to tell  me that it is ready ,  then i go into the recording area of the site,  I delete the video file,  and the translation file  leaving only the audio file.    I then download it to my computer.   It downloads as an MP4 file,  which is not how I want the file to download.   How can i get it to d/l as mp3? 

 

also,   Out of the 3 files that are recorded when using the recording feature.   I always delete the video and the translation.  (first and last file listed in drop down list)     Is it possible to turn off the creation of the video recording and the transcript prior to recording?   That way only the audio is created?

Zoom version 6.5.9 on Mac is showing black rectangles when screen sharing

I have two Macs, (Mini M3 and Macbook Air M4), both running latest OS and latest Zoom Workplace versions. On both of them when I screen share, my viewers see only the black rectangle (which I also see in the little view window that appears near the controls).  I have similar hardware with the same OS but an older version of Zoom that works fine.  Of course, I suspect the new Zoom version.  We also have some cybersecurity software running on these machines so this is another suspect. 

 

Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob

Zoom Client Update Fail

Job recruiter shared a Zoom email link to view and schedule an interview.  I am using a personal laptop.  Every time I click on the link it leads me to a Zoom client update page, begins update process, gets installer package, download begins, and then just cycles.  First time I uninstalled Zoom and reinstalled to version 6.5.10.  Ended MSI installer package in Task Manager.  Used email link again.  Same result.  I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Zoom four times, each time attempting to utilize the emailed link from the recruiter, and getting the same result.  "Zoom Client needs to upgrade".  Have tried this with both 32 and 64 bit versions.  I have the basic free version.  Oddly enough the same process and result, or lack thereof, occurs on my iphone.  Please help!

 

Is this an issue with the scheduler's version of Zoom requiring an updated version?  Even if this were the case, my fully updated Zoom install doesn't pass the email link requirement.  Please advise.

Hi there!

 

I have a team of employees that work remotely, some of which are trainees.  As part of their training, I have them to listen in on some calls that I have with clients (with the client's permission, of course), then speak with them as a group after to call to cover some teaching points.

To date, I've been completing this by calling the members of my team prior to the call, asking the team to be on mute, then calling the client and conferencing everyone together.  Once the client drops off, I continue with the team.

 

I'm looking for a Zoom-based solution where I can achieve all of this without having to conference in by phone.  Any suggestions on how this could be achieved?  I have the basic, free, Zoom account.
